April's POV
I stare at my phone in shock. SERIOUSLY? WE ARE EATING WITH IKON THE JERKS? Ehhh, maybe it's to apologize. "PEARL! WE ARE GOING TO THE KOREAN BBQ DOWN THE STREET FOR DINNER," I scream.
She bounds out of her room, "OH MY GOSH REALLY???? YAYAY MEAT! Is Zero paying?"
I snicker, "I hope so....but we are going with other people."
"Who?"
"Ikon."
Silence fills the room until Pearl finally digests what I said. "THE JERKS WE SAW THIS AFTERNOON?"
"Uh sure, you could say that." I reply, "But Zero asked them to eat with us so I'm assuming that they get along ok now."
"Wait, who do you mean by "they"?" Pearl asks carefully.
"B.I and Bobby."
Pearl facepalms. "And to think that just this morning, B.I and her were mortal enemies."
Suddenly, we hear the door open and Zero's voice booms through the dorms, "LET'S GO IDIOTS, TIME FOR DINNER!"
We quickly grab jackets and masks and rush to the door.

We arrive at the restaurant after 10 minutes and we quickly call for a private room. Soon after, Ikon shows up and we all sit awkwardly around the table until Zero stands up. "Ok everyone, we are going to be seeing each other a lot for these next few months. Though today, we totally screwed up our first impressions of each other, I think we can still learn to get along and be friends."
B.I also stands up, "We are sorry for acting like terrible people, but please understand that I was only trying to protect my group. Like Zero said, l hope we can get along."
Summer snorts, "Did you guys plan that speech together? You guys literally restated each other."
Light laughter ripples through the room and the tension seems to be eased. Summer and Zero start small talk with B.I and Bobby, while Pearl and I sit there awkwardly with the rest of Ikon. Suddenly, I feel a gentle tap on my shoulder so I turn and find myself face to face with a baby face. "Hi, I'm Donghyuk," he smiles.
"Hi, I'm April! Are you a vocalist too?"
"Yes, I am! We will be working together right?"
"Yea, I think so...so how old are you? You look really young." I compliment his baby face.
"I'm __. And you?"
"I'm 20. Wow, this is literally the first time I've met someone younger than me!"
He laughs, "Well, Chanwoo, Junhoe, and B.I are all younger than you too."
My jaw drops in surprise, "No way! B.I?? How old is he? Isn't he the leader?"
"He's 19 actually and yes, he's our leader. He's trained the longest next to Jinhwan hyung and Bobby hyung."
"Wow, this is really cool! I'm older for once!"
Pearl and Jinhwan then join our conversation and we mainly talk about singing.
Pearl's POV
As I start conversing with Jinhwan, my mind goes into overdrive. OMG HE'S SO CUTTTEEEE AND NICE!!!! HIS SMILE....GAHHHH I'M GOING CRAZY! CAN WE JUST DATE ALREADY?!?!?
"Pearl?" A hand waves in front of me.
I snap out of my fantasies. "Oh my gosh, sorry I just zoned out for a moment."

He chuckles, "Did you hear anything I just said?"
I blush, "Sorry, I wasn't listening....cuziwasthinkingaboutyou."I mutter incoherently.
"Sorry, what was that?" He leans in to hear me better.
I feel my face flush even harder, "Uh nothing. Bobby's an amazing rapper."
He looks puzzled for a moment and laughs, "I know right. He won Show Me the Money and he's known for being cool. He gets all the ladies."
I snort internally because honestly from how they treated us today, I have a burning hatred for both B.I and Bobby. Instead I just reply, "Oh really? I'm sure you and B.I get girls too."
Jinhwan laughs, "I only got one. B.I never gets any. He's forever alone in the studio."
My heart freezes, "You got one girl? As in you are dating someone right now?"
He winks and puts a finger to his lips, "Shhh don't tell."
With that, my heart crushes into a million pieces. I force a smile, "Aww that's really cute. How long have you guys been dating?"
"About 2 months." He smiles cheekily.
"Oh that's nice. Am I allowed to know who it is?"
He stares at me, "I don't really know why I'm telling you this since we literally just met. Her name is Jimin....she's from AOA."
"Awww I ship it." I say cheerily, while crying silently in my head. "Does your band know?"
"Bobby and B.I do."
Before I can reply, the food arrives and we all dig in to the meat.

Zero's POV
In the middle of dinner, I get a text from an unknown number that says it would be a shame to kill the mockingbird, mg.
I frown and try to understand the meaning of the text. it would be a shame to kill the mockingbird, mg? MG? Meh, probably just texted the wrong number. I put my phone away and turn my attention back to dinner. I elbow Summer in the stomach and whisper, "it would be a shame to kill the mockingbird, mg," just to see her reaction.
She looks at me weirdly and replies, "uhhhhh are you drunk right now?"
I facepalm mentally. "Do you know what that means?"
"Does my response look like I freaking know," She replies sarcastically, "Why do you ask?"
"Nothing. Just random thoughts."
She just ignores me and goes back to her food. I sigh. Alrighty then, It's probably just some prank thingy . . .oh maybe it's Taeyong . . . Nah it wouldn't be. He wouldn't put THAT much thought into thinking of a weird phrase . . . Ugh I should just call him.
I excuse myself from the table and step outside for a moment to call Taeyong. After a couple moments, he answers, "Heyyyy wassup!"
"Taeyong, you are not funny. Seriously? It would be a shame to kill a mockingbird, mg? Couldn't you think of something better?"
"What are you talking about?" I hear him say confusedly.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about and just saying, I'm not falling for your prank."
"Zero, I seriously have no idea what you're talking about."
I frown because he seems genuinely confused. "So your telling me that you didn't text me from some random number?"
He snorts, "That's such a lame prank. I'm more advanced than that."
I sigh, "You have no idea how stupid you sound right now. Ok, so you really didn't do it?"
"For the last time, no, I did not," he says exasperatedly.
"Ok then . . . But who else would it be? Why would they have my number? I'm an idol! I can't afford to have my number leaked!" I rub my temples in hopes of easing my growing headache.
"Zero, don't worry about. It's probably just some person who texted the wrong number. Don't reply to it for now and forget about it. If you get more texts from the person, then text them back saying that they have the wrong number."
"K thanks. Talk to you later. Bye."
"Bye."
With that, I head back into the restaurant and finish eating my dinner.
